The final night of my lunar rites was simple, relatively speaking.\u00a0 My heavy work had already been done.\u00a0 All that remained was to give thanks and contemplate the work that had been done.\u00a0 I cast the circle simply: tuning quietly to the four elements.\u00a0 I poured libations to all my gods, took a few moments to charge all my tools, and descended to my Inner Temple.<\/p>\n

There was a silver circle inscribed in the floor.\u00a0 I stood\u00a0 in the center of the circle and felt myself filled with the purple light from my instruction with Rhea.\u00a0 I pulled out the orb she gave me and poured that light into it, then placed the orb in a recess that opened for it in the wall opposite the stairs.<\/p>\n
The Full Mon\u2019s Work done at last, I ascended the stairs and returned to my body.<\/p>\n
